About this blog

Following in the footsteps of fixedgeargallery and oldtenspeedgallery, this site is devoted to photos of old hub-gear three-speeds. The bicycles pictured on this site are three-speeds that my friends, family, and I own, three-speeds that come through our shop for repair, three-speeds seen by me in the wild, and photos of three-speeds submitted by readers. Hub-gear four-speeds and five-speeds are OK, too, as long as they're old.
